The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with a church (LF014-052001-) that stands in its SW half. This irregularly shaped graveyard (90m NE-SW; 42m NW-SE) is enclosed by a series of concrete posts with intervening mesh-wire fencing. Access is via a wrought-iron gate and an adjacent stile at SW. The graveyard is overgrown with scrub rendering inspection difficult. The oldest identified memorial (LF014-052003-), dated 1642, is inside the church. The graveyard was closed in 1955 (ITA Survey 1944; Lennon 2005).
